Ill wait a few years or never. Just like the Osprey, I hope to never step foot in one


More of those augered in (filled with Marines) than the military and Boeing will ever admit. They did finally get the shite work out, but the 90s were a rough time for that aircraft.

Some of that was due to the fact they transitioned fixed-wing guys to the Osprey and not helo guys. One of the first Class A mishaps was a classic case of power settling with fixed-wing pilots on the sticks.
